IFLA Toolkit on Public Access to the Internet in Libraries

by Luca Belli

Hi all, FYI, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is developing a “Toolkit on Public Access to the Internet in Libraries.” As we discussed over the past 2 years, it would be good to enhance cooperation with the librarian communities. If you have any comments on the toolkit, please feel free to send them to Esmeralda (in CC) All the best Luca [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio.jpg] Luca Belli, PhD Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_tel.jpg]+55 21 3799 5763 t @1lucabelli<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio_map.j… de Botafogo, 190 13º andar Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro, RJ - CEP: 22250-900 [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_email.jpg] luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_url.jpg]inter… <https://internet-governance.fgv.br/>

FW: The World Bank is seeking two people to work on edtech initiatives around the world (full time positions, not consultancies)

by Jane Coffin

Hi Folks – See this note about working with a great team at the World Bank. Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 From: Michael Trucano <mtrucano(a)worldbank.org> Date: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 4:38 PM Subject: The World Bank is seeking two people to work on edtech initiatives around the world (full time positions, not consultancies) FYI The World Bank is seeking to hire two people to work on research, advisory and operational activities with governments around the world, exploring the effective and appropriate use of information and communication technologies (“ICTs”) to meet a variety of objectives related to teaching and learning. These are full time positions (i.e. not consultancies): Education Technology Specialist (5 years’ experience) - https://goo.gl/zhjk7u Senior Education Technology Specialist (8+ years’ experience) - https://goo.gl/kBPizn These people will work as part of a small, dynamic, fast-paced ‘edtech’ team led by Mike Trucano [https://goo.gl/ERi7XY] and Bob Hawkins [https://goo.gl/3uZ64y], in support of a geographically disbursed set of 17 regional World Bank staff working on large scale education projects with ministries of education in middle and low income countries around the world. If you know someone with relevant experience looking to work on some of the world’s toughest educational challenges in some of the most challenging contexts around the world: This could be her, or his, dream job. More information is below, as are links to the full job descriptions, and how to apply. The closing date to apply is 28 October 2018. Please note: There is no specified salary in the job announcements; salaries will be determined competitively based on relevant skills and experience. Please feel free to circulate these announcements across your networks, and encourage people to re-post them. Here is a related tweet: https://twitter.com/WBedutech/status/1050065784100331520 Please note that, given the variety of contexts in which we work, we are especially keen to have a very diverse group of qualified applicants, and are doing extra outreach to make sure that e.g. we get applicants from people with backgrounds and characteristics often underrepresented in recruitments of this sort conducted by institutions headquartered in the North America and Europe, especially for jobs (like these) that have a strong focus on technology-related topics. One request: Please DO NOT direct people to write to us directly about these positions. With this in mind, we would appreciate it if you did not recirculate this email with e.g. Mike’s email address attached. (He gets a few hundred emails a day, way more than he can respond to, or even look at fully, and he shudders to think at what his inbox will look like if candidates start contacting him with questions about these jobs -- especially given that, on some days, he gets a dozen unsolicited inquiries from people looking for jobs.) Thanks! Bob & Mike --- --- --- --- The World Bank has just posted two job announcements for people with ‘edtech’ experience, i.e. related to the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in education: Senior Education Technology Specialist - https://goo.gl/kBPizn Education Technology Specialist - https://goo.gl/zhjk7u The closing date for applications is 28 October 2018.

I think I'm a bit unclear about what is considered a CN here. Is there a specific published description / definition? Standard biz model? Range of models?

Re: [DC3] DC3 Digest, Vol 36, Issue 4

by Don Means

Many, most, have taken shape from electric co-ops. Cannot municipalities be convenient instruments of their communities to provide services? Not that it’s superior, I’m just looking for defined boundaries. Zero gov’t? All volunteer? Revenue streams? Rights of way issues? Apologies, I feel like I must sound like a newbie. Allow me to lurk quietly. Observe and maybe learn.
